Sorry fellas, my "other life" got in my way last week and I simply didn't have time to finalize a ride until this afternoon. I had a few minutes to work on a ride that was a little different but it just didn't pan out for next week so it's time to return to a perennial favorite. In looking at the forecast for next week, if we're going to stretch it out a little bit, then this may be the day to put on a few extra miles. Everyone loves the Saddlerock Cafe and Marsha was happy to have us. They are open for breakfast and switch over to lunch around 11. So if you want breakfast, plan accordingly and show up a little earlier than 11 for breakfast at the:

I would like to bottle up these beautiful fall days and save a few of 'em for a couple of months from now when we could really use one now and then. This was a perfect day to be riding and the Kansas countryside didn't disappoint with the blue skies, fall colors and perfect temperatures. Hoser counted 37 motorcycles at one point in the parking lot, and because we had both breakfast and lunch eaters it was a little harder to keep track but I think it was in the neighborhood of 40 or so.

It was so nice outside that 20 -25 hung around outside and visited and then headed in gradually to replace to 15-20 breakfast eaters. As usual the food at the Saddlehorn Cafe didn't disappoint and we had the special room they had reserved for us pretty busy for about and hour and a half.

Thanks to a nice crowd that showed up today. Couldn't get much better than this. Great day to be a ROMEO. You will be in good hands for the next two weeks. Swanee is going to schedule the next two rides. I think he is putting me on probation for not getting anything scheduled until Sunday afternoon this last week! Have a great weekend and look forward to riding next Wednesday. Don't forget SE Kansas is riding to the Feed Lot Cafe in Blue Mound for lunch on Friday, if you're looking for a good way to begin the weekend.

They were ready for us, special room and all.  Don't know whether they're being nice to us or keeping us away from their regular customers!

Just like junior high boys! They can't keep their hands off each other.

Some of the breakfast crew was finished up by the time the lunchers arrived on the scene.

Marvin had better get back pretty soon because Rod's made a whole bunch of new lunch friends.

Junior rode over from Oxford and joined us today.  Never did see if Crystal talked him in to a ride to Wichita!  :)

Robert and Ray seemed to be having a pretty good time in that corner booth.

Last week I took a picture of a beautiful Valkyrie that Mick S. is trying to sell because he can't get his car in the garage.  Today he showed up on  another Valkyrie Interstate that he bought this week.  Beautiful bike.  But Mick, I'm kind of starting to see why your garage is a little crowded.

This picture was taken after quite a few had already left.  We pretty much surrounded the Saddlehorn Cafe.

This picture doesn't do this paint job justice.  The metallic flake in this gorgeous color combination was literally sparkling in the midday sun.

It must have taken a pretty big snake to make this seat.  Man did this look good against that black paint.

I think it was "take your beautiful shiny Harley trike to lunch" day. The parking lot was full of 'em.

John's CBX was looking mighty fine in the parking lot also.

Bill and Linda said they were going straight home but I think they got sidetracked.  They showed up at the Kreme Kup in Wamego-not exactly straight home!  :)

Hey Mick:

Great location, great day and a great time to be riding a motorcycle 8-) . You had people from the Wichita group, from the Southeast group, the Manhattan group and some from the KC group - now where else can you put such a great ride together :D :D . If Junior Wege reads this, the next time I see his wife Shirley, I am gonna tell her all about it. I think Crystal had a plan for Junior :shock: , she sure seemed interested. All kidding aside, I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the ride down KS177 to Cassoday and onward to Chanute. Glad to be a part of ROMEO's.
Drive now, talk later
